Valerie Campbell - Testimonials

During our sales meeting, our B&W office manager asked agents this question "if your life depends on you selling your home in 30 days, you can not list it yourself. Who would you list with and why?" I had no hesitation to say "Valerie Campbell!" and here's why. I can "TRUST" her with my kids and my finance. She is honest, responsible, very personal, a great listener, very experienced (over 23 plus years) and never skim over important details. I know she will fight for me and also, I know SHE CAN SELL! I highly recommend Valerie Campbell as your agent for listing & buying. She will EXCEED your expectation.

This was the easiest real estate transaction I've ever done. She handled everything quickly and professionally. I have used Valerie several times now for both buying and selling. Best realtor ever! I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

The process was seamless from the beginning to the end.

Valerie guided us through the process with complete confidence, and excellent communication, she was always available to answer questions or concerns. We definitely received the advantages of Valerie's many years of experience. Valerie knew exactly what needed to be done to represent our property for a quick and efficient sale, which is what we experienced. We have already referred her to family and will continue in the years to come. Valerie treats her clients with respect. Thank you Valerie. Tim and Christine

After 35 plus years in our home, her advice was critical in the decision process with suggestions and ideas throughout our listing and the sale of our home. She stayed in touch frequently with us and on market conditions. Valerie became more that an outstanding realtor but became a real friend to both my wife and I. She was simply great to work with!

We had lots of activity and plenty to deal with. Valerie keep me fully informed and provided all the support I needed. She was wonderful to work with!

She came highly recommended. We had appointments with 3 different realtors before we decided who we were going to use. Valerie was the first realtor we interviewed and we knew from out first meeting she would be the  realtor that would sell our house. We cancelled the other two after meeting her. We have worked with many realtors in our lifetime but Val definitely was the best realtor we have ever worked with. She was on the ball, very smart, great great advice, excellent communication and handled every detail the way we expected. Our house was sold in 3 months.

She was always available which was a huge help to me since I have never sold a home before. And she went above and beyond the call-of-duty by 'landscaping' the area around the septic tank the day of closing. She made this home selling much easier than it could have been.

She is very knowledgeable and does her homework to keep updated about the surrounding areas where she has a client. She has been in the Real Estate for 20 + years and has a passion for her work. She takes extra measures with homes with some ideas to make it inviting and for a buyer to see and open their imagination. Val is very delightful to work with. She is always in high spirits. Val is very honest and will always be straight forward with her clients. She is great at negotiating and always is looking out for her clients best interest.

Any real estate agent can sell a house in a sellers market but only the very talented professionals like Valerie can get the job done in a super competitive "buyers" market. Not only did Valerie get the job done, she was always there for us throughout the whole process. She was very helpful, flexible and supportive when we needed to rent our house for a period of time. Valerie goes beyond the "transactional" interaction with her customers, she is always available and genuinely cares about her customers. Five big starts!

Her insights on the local market was great. helping us stage our house helped us sell in three days and above our asking price

Let's face it, the market has been rough, but she stuck to it and got the job done. She helped find me a renter when the place wasn't selling due to market conditions. Then this spring, we listed it again, and boom, it finally sold. She advised me to get higher pricing for the unit and it not only sold but at a much higher price than I ever anticipated (20% higher). She has been the utmost professional throughout the process. I would highly recommend her to list a house or purchase one too.

She is amazing and more than just a real estate agent. She is thorough, honest and clear every step of the way during the whole buying/selling process. She will go above and beyond for you. I highly recommend her!

This was my first time buying a home and she made the process run smoothly and efficiently. Buying a home is stressful, but Valerie was there every step of the way. She answered all my questions and gave me piece of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for a new home.

I cannot imagine a better person to have worked with.

She is always knowledgable of the market and trends. She forthcoming with info and always willing to help prepare your home from moving furniture to pricing it right. I wouldn't even consider using anyone else and she's helped me with four properties now in the Barrington/Cary/Wauconda area

We started our process with another broker who was ineffective and switched to Valerie who was recommended by a friend. the house was empty and we live an hour away. Valerie made countless trips to check on the property after storms, to meet with vendors and contractors and her availability and follow-up was what one would expect from a top flight lawyer or investment banker. we were lucky to have found her. on a scale of "10" valerie is a "12."

  She is so very professional and personable.  Valerie continually worked to market our home without being asked.  Always promptly returns calls and follows up with showings.  Baird & Warner - you have a gem working for you!

The first was my mothers house, which we needed to sell after she passed. A friend recommended Valerie after she sold his house. I called Valerie and set up a meeting. I had a million questions with regard to my mothers house and estate and she answered all my questions and put me at ease. The house sold despite the housing crisis, which was raging at the time (late 2011). I immediately thought of Valerie when my wife and I decided to move out of Illinois. Her energy and acumen were again welcome. She thought we should list it for much more than we thought and knew we would get near asking price, which is what happened. We had a contract in less than 3 days after it went on the market. While we were already out of state, Valerie oversaw our needs and organized help with a couple of issues that needed fixing at buyers request. The closing was smooth and ordered and we were highly satisfied. We cannot recommend Valerie enough.

She was wonderful to work with!

She is knowledgeable, organized, and wonderful to work with. She was readily available to answer any questions, and throughout the time it took to find and purchase our home, I always felt we were in good hands. I recommend Valerie highly and would not hesitate to work with her again.

6 acre homesite in Long Grove because she had experience with similar property. It was a good decision. Valerie is responsive, hardworking and a problem solver. She and Baird & Warner are old school professionals and I would happily use them again.

She is easy to work with and always reachable, responsive and flexible. Her number one mission is to help you buy or sell your home as fast as possible. She is a multi-tasker and can pack a lot into one day -everyday! I can't sing her praises enough having both bought and sold a home with Valerie in the past 5 years. I highly recommend her!

We saw her as unique because she is a 'Professional Salesperson' with 25 + years of experience in the Barrington Real Estate markets. We entered poor Market conditions yet Valerie executed on Marketing Programs of all kinds, networked and immediately followed up on any lead and communicated to both of us frequently. We ended up with multiple offers over time and things got complicated. We then came to appreciate the expertise developed thru those 25+ years of strategy formulation and experience. She was involved with every detail until the very end. My Wife and I 500% recommend her to anyone who is looking for an 'A Plus' realtor !!!!

We have known Valerie for 22 years, through 2 previous buying and selling transactions. We are extremely impressed with her preparation, commitment to delivering the best results for the client, her high level of experience and sound advice. Valerie is exceptional!

She knew the local market and really helped guide us through the selling and buying process. We used her advice from the beginning to address items on the house we sold before putting it on the market. She helped us through each stage- presenting it, negotiating offers, negotiating the contract, negotiating the same on our purchase, amazing contacts on repairs, even helped us find a place to drop off paint and motor oil as we moved out! She's caring, responsive, practical, humorous, and has a positive sunny disposition. We loved working with her through a difficult process-she made it manageable. She's a rockstar for sure!

She was very responsive, proactive and transparent throughout the process of selling our home. Valerie is genuinely invested, motivated and engaged - willing to go above and beyond whenever necessary! Her experience and knowledge prove to be particularly helpful in providing guidance.

Her attention to details and overall excellent knowledge of the industry made the selling flow easily and and without any problems. She is a true professional and a credit to the industry and her company. I would be proud and honored to recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell real property. I commend her for her service for having gone above and beyond the call of duty.

I would highly recommend her. Dan Newquist

My wife and I were looking for a house in a very limited geographical area. Valerie worked with us on a very personal basis and helped us to understand what we really wanted. It was her local area knowledge and networking  that enabled us to purchase our new home. Valerie is the most patient person I know; she’s completely open to hearing what you have to say and continues to listen whole heartedly. Valerie is knowledgeable and always available. She would always show up on short notice and take us to see potential homes. She has great negotiation skills to work with sellers to carve you out financial benefits. We simply could not have done this without her.

I have been in the mortgage business for over 20 years and it was just a relief to work with Valerie and get this rental of mine sold and out of my life! Thank you Valerie for all the hard work and guidance!!

She made us feel like we were her only clients even though we know how busy she is. She has a wealth of knowledge of the entire process and helped us out all along the way.

We would highly recommend Valerie to anyone who wants an awesome experience in buying or selling their home!

She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and accessible basically any time we needed her. Wonderful!

We moved from out of state, and her knowledge of the area, the real estate market was invaluable. She was also very accommodating to our schedule, including house hunting with our young children. We would definitely recommend Valerie to others looking for a new home!

We had a rare issue and she handled it so well for us. She even went up on our roof to clear off some branches to make sure our photos turned out their very best!

From start to finish she made this experience, which can be daunting, a positive one. She is pleasant to work with, knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.
